John's Story
Life
Anyone who knows me knows I started at Poly in 84 and came to Southern in 85. I was permanently expelled in 86 (on my 16th birthday; also the first day of school that year!) and GED'd in 1987. I worked as an apprentice chef 86 to 88. I worked as apprentice stone mason 88 to 89. From 88 to 90 I was a druggie. I quit drugs permanently in 90 and resumed my life. From 89 to 93 I lived and worked in Ocean City, Maryland in summer and attended CCB from fall 90 to spring 93 earning an AA in Business. I worked at Procter & Gamble 93 to 95. I got back into stone work in 95 and am now a Master Stone Mason with clients including Charles Dutton (aka Roc on the TV show Roc), John Gotti Jr., Cal Ripken Jr., Mary Beth Marsden (news person) and Donnie Purnell (Kix). I live with my girlfriend, our two boys, my delicate little pit bull Naomi and our great dane Daisy in Delta, Pennsylvania...Expand for more
and Hampden, Baltimore, Maryland. I'm sad to report that my longtime friend, my cat Fuzz, whose company I've taken for granted since 1987 died this past winter (2003-2004) at 17. I will miss her. I've considered broadcasting school. I have been told by more than one radio DJ that I have the voice. I'd like to work as a DJ when I get too old to work with stone. We'll see.....
<UPDATE Nov. 2006> I have just opened a business in Hampden named Accurate Granite LLC. We are at 1527 Union Avenue. I got a little tired of helping shops like Badolato and Vinci get rich while I did all the work. I am considered to be one of the top three granite masons in Maryland. I'm putting that skill to work for ME: fabricating and installing kitchen tops, bath tops, fireplaces, table tops and anything custom my customers can dream up. It's hard work but I love it and the money is OBSCENE :)
